Ps2 browser/system configuration menu will not display

My girlfriend was navagating through the system configuration menu and accidentally changed one of the settings and then hit x instead of 0 and now the browser/system configuration will not display-screen just remains black. I have never had any problems with my PS2 and all of the hookups are correct.

My console starts up. Green and blue lights are on, everything is plugged in, and all cords work. Does not display anything on television, nor does play any sound.

All cords are secured in there, and it's on the correct channel. Playstation makes buzzing noises like normally, and even seems to read the disk. Just no display/sound on television.My console starts up. Green and blue lights are on, everything is plugged in, and all cords work.

I hope your in the right posting area, this is for the Phat PS2 consoles with the drawer that comes out to put the CD in. Procedure is different for Slim PS2.

Disconnect power and turn the case upside down.

Remove the screw covers to expose the case screws. These are little square pieces or square rubber pads. You can use a thin knife blade to pry the hard plastic squares up.

Remove all the screws.

Remove the Warranty sticker to the right edge of the power socket.

Turn the PS2 over to set it right side up.

lift the top cover from the back and pull it forward slightly to clear the CD tray. Be careful of a possibly Ribbon cable attached to the lid going to the Reset/Eject buttons. Roll the cover over to the right leaving the ribbon intact.

Remove the CD tray lid.

Polish the Laser lens, and remove any lint or hair from the CD area. Use Alcohol and cotton swabs to clean the laser lens. By the way, Alcohol will damage a PS2 Slim lens. All lens are not created equally.

Hook up the power and A/v Cables.

Remove the little white disc from the CD tray lid.

Place a Disc on the spindle, and cap the disc with the little white piece that you removed from the CD tray cover.

Boot up the PS2 and test it, Continue cleaning until you get it to work.

Is the time accurate or is it off? There is a battery in the consoles that keep the time and other system settings updated when the console is off or unplugged. Over time the battery gets drained. So on older machines when you power it on, the PS2 sees that its time is off or otherwise thinks it is being turned on for the first time and makes you do the inital setup. The solution? You can try cracking open the PS2 and replacing the battery. Don't ask where the battery is located at inside it because it varies from version to version of the motherboard in the PS2. But if you search the forums, some locations have been suggested.

That is the default setting when you reset the PS2, It's programed into the system. Since PS2 came out in May 2000 it automatically sets the time to the beginning of that year which is 1/1/2000
If you want to change it you

1. If there is a game disc in the console, remove it and then power the unit on/off.

2. When the opening screen appears, choose the bottom option of the two. One will be time and date

6. Return to the Time and Date Setup and verify or set your time zone.

7. Press CIRCLE to exit the configuration menu.

8. Insert the game disc and navigate to the Browser menu to select the game or browse the memory card.

Start up your PS2 (without a game or movie), you will see "browser" and "system configuration". Go to system configuration(Configuracion de Sistema) something like that, and scroll down until you find language(Idioma). press X and you can choose from about 8 languages.

I am having the same problem with my PS2, but I have an HDD inside of mine. I am told this is a circuit problem inside the PS2 that doesn't allow the information to be transfered to the RAM.That's why you see “No Data” instead of the usual problem of “Disc Read Error”.I hate to say it, but it sounds like you are going to have to do the same thing I am about to do.Send it in to Sony and get it repaired.

I am also pretty sure this PS2 you are talking about is the large fat one, and not the slim one.

Try reset to the Default Configuration, Remove the Memory Card and try this:

Press the Power and turn off,
Press the Power and Turn on, without a MC the default has been charge.

- No have a "reset sequence" but I can send to you a sequence to reset rgb without video".
Sequence: when the ps2 sound "ready" press:Down, X, Down, Down, Down, X, Right, X.

After Default Load, in "Browser" put your memory card and delete a System Configuation for the MC, the icon is a PS2, and save a new configuration, Done, if the problem not solve, send me a mail or msn gamba.support@hotmail.com (Mail and MSN)
